Policy R-15

Title: COMPLETION OF DEGREE WHILE ATTENDING ANOTHER INSTITUTIONNumber: R-15Date of Inception: January 24, 1995

Purpose: To establish a procedure for those students who have completed three years
of academic work at Charleston Southern University and have been admitted to a professional
school or college such as dentistry, medicine, or law, when the professional school
does not require that the students have completed all requirements for a baccalaureate
degree.

In the case where the student has completed at least three years of work towards a
baccalaureate degree at Charleston Southern University and is admitted as a regular
degree-seeking student at a professional school, the University, in cooperation with
the professional school, will permit credits earned during the first year of residence
at the professional school to apply towards the satisfaction of the fourth year of
course requirements at Charleston Southern University under the following conditions:

That the student has satisfied all core requirements for the degree at Charleston
Southern University,

That the student has satisfied all major and minor residency requirements at the University,

That the student has been regularly admitted as a degree-seeking student at the professional
school,

That the student demonstrates satisfactory progress as defined by Charleston Southern
University on all courses completed at Charleston Southern University, and that he/she
demonstrate satisfactory progress as defined by the professional school, and that
the courses being accepted from the professional school receive prior approval from
the appropriate Charleston Southern University department head.

This process must be instituted by the student or the professional school, acting
on behalf of the student.

Since, obviously, this student will not satisfy the current overall residency policy
of thirty-six (36) of the last forty-six (46) hours, this provides an exception for
policy R-23. This exception applies only to students in this category.
